In today's episode I share a simple observation from watching my son's Brazilian Ju Jitsu class yesterday. In life we need to realise that the mindset we bring to anything that matters to us will be a major determinant of how effective we are. Mindset is essentially about the 'filters' that we use to approach important situations. This filter does not have to be dictated to us but is rather something we can deliberately choose. Listen in today and let me help you gain a better understanding of mindset and how to make it work in your favour.
In today's message I want to explore another of the key reasons that so many people just don't seem to reach their goals. So many of us start with passion and energy but sooner or later life seems to roll on and before we know it we have not moved the needle on what matters most. In this episode I want to talk with you about the 'presence of your plan.' Keeping your goals in front of you on a daily basis is one of the things that many people overlook. Listen in as I talk about how this simple step can give you the momentum that has been missing.
Sooner or later we can only get so far on our own. While it's crucial to be committed to doing all you can on your own there are always times when we seem stuck and need some outside help. One of the best ways to create this next level of change is simply to reach out to key people who have the expertise you need. In today's episode I want to talk about the power of coaches and experts to really move us forward when it matters most.
In today's episode it's all about one of the biggest negative habits that we all face at various times. I want to share with you the reasons we procrastinate and how it acts as a form of self-sabotage. Once we understand why we avoid the hard things we need to do then we are on the path to creating change. I want to share with you some simple insights that can make a big difference for you.
In today's message I share a powerful quote from the 7th century philosopher Lao Tzu. He helps us to remember that when we are heading in the wrong direction, even if only by a small margin, then the consequences can be extreme over time. Listen in as I explore the truth that we can always change direction but not until we get clear on exactly where we are heading.
